Description

This spacious property presents an excellent opportunity for renovation and investment. Located in a sought-after area, the home spans two floors and offers flexible living arrangements, including a separate outbuilding that could be transformed to suit various needs, such as an annex or workspace (subject to planning permission). The well-proportioned layout features an inviting entrance porch leading to a central hallway that connects all key areas. The dual-aspect living room provides ample space for relaxation and includes a conservatory with views of the rear garden. The kitchen/dining area is functional but could benefit from modernisation to create a more contemporary family hub, alongside the utility room for added practicality. Downstairs, there's potential to reconfigure the two additional rooms currently used as bedrooms/offices for multi-generational living or home working. Upstairs boasts two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom that may require updating. The generous detached outbuilding enhances the property’s appeal, offering possibilities for additional accommodation or recreational space. With a rear garden featuring both patio and lawn areas and ample parking available at the front, this property possesses significant potential for those looking to invest in an adaptable family home in close proximity to local amenities and transport links.
